Woman Stabbed and Robbed – 3rd Avenue and 88th Street in Bay Ridge
Around 8:30 pm last night, a woman was stabbed and robbed by a man on 3rd Avenue and 88th Street in Bay Ridge.
Did the story make it to the local papers today? No. For some reason a woman being hurt in our community is not news.
The woman was stabbed in the hand. People said there was a lot of blood on the street.
UPDATE: Tonight at the 68th Precinct’s meeting the Captain said, “the thief came behind the woman and grabbed her bag. As he was trying to get away, the victim’s hand got cut. “ (Why didn’t he say: While being robbed, a woman was slashed while trying to defend herself.)
The 68th Precinct did not provide any information about the perp – not even a description. There has to be some cameras in the area that they could have released an image by now (November 18th)
Not one politician spoke about this incident publicly – it was only addressed in a private facebook group, which was shared with me. Senator Andrew Gounardes does not view the safety of the community as being important.
Brannan thinks that speaking to his friends in a group is being a leader.
While both Mrs. Brannan’s must know the information, Justin doesn’t think the community needs to know this information to be safe.
Brannan shared this message on Facebook. I am blocked from viewing this account, so I am not sure if this was the whole message.
Yes, it’s illegal for elected representatives to block constituents, but he is like the old senator – not accountable to this community.
As everyone knows, I have never spoken about the councilman’s appearance, but I have spoken out against his bills for lobbyists and his failure to act for this community (See here) and for animals in NYC. (See here) While the Bay Ridge Democrats may not like animals, we do. We hate that dogs and cats are being killed weekly because Justin Brannan was silent.
